We reported a few weeks in the past that Nvidia appears set to launch an RTX 3080 Ti laptop computer graphics card, and because of a contemporary Geekbench leak (opens in new tab) there’s additional weight so as to add to that hypothesis.
VideoCardz (opens in new tab) stories that an unspecified HP Omen laptop computer is provided with an Intel twelfth Gen Alder Lake CPU alongside Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Laptop computer GPU. A few of these additionally listed ‘Nvidia Graphics System’ for the motive force title which does not give us a lot to work with, however given that is all unconfirmed info anyway, attempt to not take something as gospel. Very similar to the cell RTX 3080, the RTX 3080 Ti appears like it would ship with 16GB of VRAM.
Hypothesis about higher-end pocket book GPUs from Nvidia has been flying round for fairly a while now, though earlier leaks advised that an RTX 3080 Tremendous was deliberate somewhat than the present Ti allocation. Naming conventions apart, the SKU for this mannequin of the cell GPU seemingly confirms that it’s going to function 58 Compute Models, every carrying 128 CUDA cores.
After some fundamental maths, we will assume that the RTX 3080 Ti cell may have 7,424 CUDA cores over the 6,144 featured within the cell RTX 3080, although 256 CUDAs seem to have been disabled for this variant. The Vulcan rating is a reasonably spectacular 90,114 factors, which really units it beneath the usual RTX 3080 laptop computer GPU common rating of 91,130, however we anticipate this quantity will change after drivers have been finalized and the whole lot has been fine-tuned.
If we now have to hazard a guess, an announcement round CES 2022 appears seemingly, so take issues with a pinch of salt for now and hopefully, we’ll have affirmation on potential efficiency by January.
Evaluation: What does this imply for RTX 4000?
Rumors for a brand new addition to the Ampere RTX 3000 sequence of cell graphics playing cards have been circulating for months, with estimations that they may very well be unveiled early in 2022. Given the continuing silicon scarcity, it appears like an uncommon time for Nvidia to be focusing its efforts on a brand new laptop computer GPU, particularly when the present lineup feels pretty nicely balanced, however little doubt individuals will likely be itching to get their fingers on a brand new, highly effective gaming laptop computer as soon as they seem within the wild.
We additionally know that Nvidia is at the moment engaged on its RTX 4000 sequence, codenamed ‘Lovelace’, however this new era is at the moment anticipated to seem across the finish of 2022, which might match the timeline expectations set by earlier releases.
To us, it could certainly make extra sense to focus efforts on making a well-balanced lineup of RTX 4000 cell GPUs somewhat than churn out one other addition to the present household, however as we now have no manner of figuring out for positive that Lovelace will land by this time subsequent yr, this may very well be in preparation for a delay on RTX 4000 gaming laptops.
